The legendary forefather of the turn-based tactics genre, the one, the only, Jagged Alliance, is gearing up for a huge comeback. After a long 25 years since the original, Jagged Alliance 3 is slated to make its grand entrance to the PC gaming scene on July 14th, 2023. That’s right, the iconic “3” is coming, and it promises to be a worthy successor to the beloved franchise.
But, what can we expect from the game? Well, the latest trailer has spilt the beans, and trust us, it’s juicy. Those of you who’ve grown toughened battle scars from the previous installments may think you know what’s coming. But Haemimont Games have a few tricks up their sleeves that might just surprise you. For the newbies among us (you know who you are!), the trailer is an introduction to the world of Jagged Alliance.
And if that’s not enough, the developers are planning to launch mod support soon after the game’s release. This means you’ll have the power to adjust the game to your preferences – modify weapon statistics, change difficulty levels, display the “chance to hit” percentage, and more. You’ll even get the chance to create and share your own campaigns!
As for the price tag, Jagged Alliance 3 will set you back $44.99 / €44.99 / £39.99. But, good news, there will be a 20% launch discount on Steam and we’ll put together a buyers guide on release day with the best places to buy it, for now you can Wishlist Jagged Alliance 3 on Steam to remind you.
For the collectors among us, there’s a limited-edition Tactical Edition up for pre-order at €129.99 / £114.99.
For all the lore nerds out there, here’s a bit about the game: Set in Grand Chien, a nation teeming with rich natural resources and political turmoil, Jagged Alliance 3 has you leading a group of skilled mercenaries to find the missing elected president and restore order to the country. As you explore Grand Chien, you’ll recruit from a vast cast of mercenaries, each with their unique quirks and backstories.
The game is packed with rich, tactical turn-based combat, extensive merc customisation, and an open RPG structure that lets you decide Grand Chien’s fate. You’ll control territory, train locals, command multiple parties, and fend off enemy forces in a lively, active world. And the cherry on top? You can experience the campaign with your mates in online co-op mode!
Alright, folks, that’s all the details we have for now. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates and, of course, the game’s release in July.
